Its early in the season but they held their own on the road vs Seattle

 
They played great defense against the hawks and were unlucky not to come out with a victory. I think it will be a low scoring defensive game on Sunday with the Pats pulling out the win.
 
I wouldn't mind seeing Suh eat a cheap shot. Maybe a chop block right to his knees.
 
Believe their DT Earl Mitchell is out VS NE.

Division games are usually tough.

At some point over the next 3 games Jimmy should be tested.
 
At least this game is at home, but the Miami defense looked pretty stout. Hopefully they can come up with a game plan to move the ball on them.

On the flip side, I didn't see much that impressed me from Miami's offense. A couple of turnovers or a defensive score would be great.
 
I watched the first half against Seattle and their defense look solid on the other hand Seattle's offense was putrid so the low scoring game can be a bit misleading.
 
Hoping on Sunday around 4:15pm it becomes "Miami Weak".
 
Not sure why but the Pats have a tough time against this team. Hopefully they are more tired from playing Seattle than the Pats are from playing AZ.
 
MIA had Russ running for his life last week. I don't know the state of SEA's line, but it can't be that much "worse" than ours . . . and what I mean by that is that we're starting two rookies, a second year man and two backup LT's. That'll be something to watch. MIA usually plays NE tough in between the clunkers. It'll be another tough game, but I know NE is up to the task.
 
Miami's offense gained only 200 yards of offense and the defense gave up 350. So it looked closer then it really was and Miami got a break with Wilson playing on one leg in the 2nd half.

Tannenhill was also sacked 5 times.
 
Miami's defense might be good - I don't know and they usually play us tough, at least in Miami - but Seattle's offense is pretty awful. Their OL isn't what it was (the Graham trade broke that line), they have no quick-passing game, and the running games sans Beast Mode isn't what it was.

Seattle's offense won't be in the top 20 this year if Wilson is hobbled at all.

And that offense got more yards on Miami than Arizona's top-rated offense got on New England, AND Miami won the turnover battle 2-0.

Just for perspective.
 
Again, it depends a lot on who we have returning to the fold. If we return 2-4 starters we should win. Gotta think either we win easily or we win a nail biter.

Play football in South Florida during the summer and you'll see why the Pats have trouble with them in Miami.
